I'm so dim . . . I didn't even know you could have someone refurbish an older piece like this. We had a cleaning kit, but that was all we knew to use. WOW! It looks fabulous! Great investment, and beautiful sofa. <br /><br />Happy Easter!Leslie Anne Tarabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02196752637270349443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-11088814585925083572017-04-14T08:05:01.261-05:002017-04-14T08:05:01.261-05:00Yep, we have to take care of those car seats too. ...Yep, we have to take care of those car seats too.

I noticed when I got gas and the light was just right, that my seat had some dust in the corners! lol I couldn't remember when I had cleaned my seat. And they look and smell so good now.

That sent me back to mine because I knew by the longevity of it that it was good. I normally have all paper work on things like that, but I guess since it was a going out of business sale I didn't gather the usual paperwork with it.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-44349081365691718652017-04-13T07:34:41.681-05:002017-04-13T07:34:41.681-05:00I looked around quite a bit.

I did end up at a higher end store in Pensacola and found out about a grading system for leather. That really made me stop and think about keeping the set we have. The guy that worked on it just went on and on about how it was great quality compared to much of what he saw these days. That made me feel much better about it. You must like it though because you will not be making changes.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-42371716512196768152017-04-12T21:41:02.246-05:002017-04-12T21:41:02.246-05:00It looks great!!

We bought leather chairs 5 years ago that were expensive and supposedly very good quality. The leather immediately started coming off and exposing just fabric underneath. So disappointing! It just seems like you never quite know what you are getting these days when you buy something new. Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728612514516285320noreply@blogger.com
